Also, I'm tempted to challenge you to paint your rims the same color. I'm tempted to color match my headlight housings too. So many experiments, so little time.

Awww no gloss black lip no more hahait looks good tho me like! now you gotta pain the rest of the molding to match since you paint matched the front and headlights on ebay are cheap dude keep an eye out for a nice black housing oem set.

paint job looks nice, much better this way IMO. Did you end up using arizona beige, or was autozone able to get paint to match with your paint code?

Are you gonna paint your door handles as well? This is my next body project, but im too scared ill mess it up or that a spot that gets handled this much will start to chip or peel.

If you take the time to properly sand and primer it right before paint and clear it after you should be fine w/o peeling. Might have to do a few extra coats of clearcoat but nothing major. Talk to Sfazngiants he did it if im remembering right
